Odyssey Across the Outback: Jeremy Sims' Last Cab to Darwin

This inspirational drama-comedy, based on the real-life story of Broken Hill taxi driver Max Bell, tackles the tricky territory surrounding terminal illness and euthanasia. According to Greg Dolgopolov, it is also a quintessential road movie, with a protagonist who learns about life and love during the journey, as well as a shrewd cinematic text that critiques Australian mateship and emotional reservedness.
